We had a really great stay. However, unfortunately, we left a jumper on the kitchen bench in our room. After we had driven out, we realised we had left it there. We called up, but reception said housekeeping stated there was no trace of it. This is disappointing as we know we left it there, and certainly has tarnished our experience. We would be unlikely to return as a result of this.

Reception was friendly and professional. patient and organised. I was disappointed the pool was non operational. This was communicated after the booking was made. I was offered a complimentary bottle of wine but then had to ask for it. The room was clean and spacious however the bed was very hard.

High Floor ending in 21 - BEST view of the city

Make sure to get a room ending in 21!! We were on the 9th floor (room 9021), and it has THE most spectacular view of the city. Our only complaint is that the bathroom has no counter space, but for that view, it works!! Very reasonably priced, a great location, and excellent service.
